Wednesday, 21 April 2010
Home Minister Advocate Sahara Khatun said that the police have already been asked to immediately ascertain why SI (Sub Inspector) Gautom was killed, reports UNB.
"I already instructed the police to investigate Gautom's killing," the home minister said when she visited Dhaka Medical College Hospital to see the slain policeman's corpse Tuesday.
Some unidentified miscreants gunned down Gautom, sub-inspector of Bangshal police station, around Dholaikhal at around 2:30 am Tuesday morning, as he was returning home from work.
After getting dropped off from his friend's jeep, Gautam spotted three suspicious looking youths near his Dholaikhal residence and sought to investigate their motives behind being there. Suddenly the miscreants opened fire on him and fled, leaving Gautam in a pool of blood.
State Minister for Home Shamsul Haq Tuku said that he came to know that SI Gautom was carrying his firearm during the incident. "I asked to investigate why he did not use his firearm in self-defence."
